Obviously I've been on a bit of a susie-homemaker run lately, what with all the baking etc. Since it's been raining and I have nothing to do, I thought I'd share a little crafty DIY project from last year.

See what happened was that it was November and I was all broke and stuff, and I had to get a birthday present for my brother. Unfortunately I couldn't afford an actual present from Kikki-K, so I decided to make some nice little things.

I bought these crappy frames...

...and then I covered them in nice thick glossy Kikki-K paper...

I thought they looked quite nice...

...but as presents go they were a total failure, and I felt compelled to buy him some tea from T2 as well but he didn't seem overly impressed. I had looked high and low for an online photo processing place that does vouchers for getting digital pics printed, because the idea was that then he could get a whole stack of photos from his Japan trip printed, and they'd go in the frames. But I couldn't find one so, yeah...pretty crap in the end.
